Father Kranc had served at St. Rose of Lima as parochial vicar before being named administrator earlier this year.
The history of St. Rose began in 1957 when a mission was created in East Hanover. The first Masses were celebrated in the East Hanover Middle School. A church was built on Ridgedale Avenue in 1958 and the mission was raised to parish status in 1959.
